Getty Images Scam Letter

Brian Clark | 30.06.2013 22:03 | Technology | London

Regarding the Getty Images Scam Letter that is going around and has been for some time.

Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing with regard to the Getty Images scam that has been going on for some time, whereby threatening letters and demands are sent for what amount to trivial copyright infringements. While technically there is a case, the circumstances are somewhat mitigating.

As with most points of view there are many and they all depend on your standpoint as to what you consider right, wrong or just plain unfair.

I am merely circulating my concerns on this matter and as such include a copy of my letter in pdf format.

While you may not be able to comment on the matter from a professional position I would appreciate a few minutes of your time reading it.

Failing that please do a web search for Getty Images Extortion Letter, to see the scale of this problem.

Many thanks

Brian Clark.
